In addition, Bloomington Hospital was established on the north end of the neighborhood in 1905. When the nearby Monon rail yard was created, more housing for workers was needed, and the neighborhood grew again. The neighborhood had generally been known as McDoel Gardens for some years, after W. H. McDoel, the popular president of the Monon from 1899-1909. In 1910, the yard took that name formally.

In 1940RCA took over the Showers factory, and although successful, few new houses were built in the neighborhood. The mills had been closing steadily since the Great Depression. RCA provided the majority of employment for local workers until the 2000's, when the plant was finally closed. The factory buildings were demolished in 2002. What remains is a residential neighborhood with many small houses built between 1900 and 1930, several with interesting stonework due to the great stonecutting skills of the workers who had built them.
